Alice in Zombieland by Gena Showalter

alice

If you are thinking this is a twisted version of Alice in Wonderland then you are 50% right. There are a few differences between Alice in Wonderland and Alice in Zombieland.

  1. Alice in Zombieland likes to be called Ali, especially after what happened to her, you will make sure to remember because too many people in this book forget.
  2. Ali doesn’t travel down a hole while following a white rabbit. The zombies, in this story, are in our world; hidden in the spirit realm. The white rabbit, in this story, is a cloud and there is no hole.
  3. Ali has a protective, violet-eyed, toned, sexy, male co-star. I’ve not yet read the story where Alice from Alice in Wonderland has any kind of human male co-star besides the Mad-hater, who doesn’t count.
  4. Ali has special “talents”

 

One thing is for sure, like Alice, Ali is here to kick some butt and take some names.

When your world comes tumbling down what’s left to do except… FIGHT.

Ali and Kat

Ali – “Uh, I think low maintenance is what’s desirable.”

Kat- “Low maintenance is what’s forgettable. You might want to write that down, underline it, circle it, and put a star by it. It’s golden.”

Kat

“Here’s a life lesson for you. Boys always cover for other boys.”

“Life lesson number two. Spying is the best- and only- way to learn the truth.”

“Time to enact Operation Boys Will Cry. Stage one – make them notice us.”

“We can’t really spy on them if they’re not spying on us, now can we?”

 

Operation Boys Will Cry

Stage 1

part A: Beer

part B: A bump and grind on the dance floor

Stage 2

Fanning the flames of jealousy

 

Ali

“I never should have doubted Kat.”

 

Ali’s dad’s Fight Rules

  • If you fall, go down swinging
  • Never lose sight of your enemy. You’ll regret it.

 

Ali is funny. Not the “ha ha” funny but the “OMG you didn’t” kind of funny. “Questions, questions, questions” is her unsaid motto but you will learn to love it along with her co-stars

 

Cole- This is the violet-eyed male co-star. Worth all dream-drooling because he’s even a gentleman. You’ll fall for him probably faster then Ali and she fell fast.

Kat- Newly made BFF. Who knows nothing and everything. She’s funny also. She’s the rude type of funny, the type that shouldn’t be funny but is.

Frosty- On again, off again boyfriend to Kat. Only they know where their relationship is, well them and EVERYONE around them.

I’d tell you more but there are so many characters you’d want to learn for yourself. Some things are better learned the hard way… the READING WAY

If you don’t read this book… the world just might end. This is Zombie Survival 101. Plus romance, action, friendship, and the meaning of family love.
